It's nowt to do with people's opinions. My last attempt at posting was interrupted more than 10 times by an advert (it totally blocks off the line you're typing on ...... it's happening again now as I type) and reading only 4 or 5 people's perfectly good postings isn't floating my boat. I'll keep in touch with happenings on here from time to time. I won't be missed.

So the players I'd promoted missed their penalties. Kobacki played well, JLowe didn't. McNeill again, didn't get a chance. Ugbo, again, was awful (he HAS to perform soon, doesn't he?) It's incredible how much better we are when Bannan's in the side. I reckon with 5 more extra minutes, we'd have won it in the main match and extra time wouldn't have been needed. We HAVE to abandon the playing out from the back nonsense. Why are we usually the much better team when we go behind? Anyway, due to extremely intrusive, annoying ads and a general lack of interest from other members, I'm leaving the Forum. It's not the place it was.

Broadsword calling Danny Boy. Broadsword calling Danny Boy. His usual half time rally will do for me. There's no Smiffy to bail us out tonight. Did we sign the proper Ugbo, or have we signed his cousin? If anyone looks like doing the business for us tonight, it's Ingelsson. He was our most dangerous player first half.

Just why has the edit facility on this site been ruined? It can't be difficult to provide one surely?

I'd like to have seen Kobacki, JLowe and McNeill given a start. I suppose Ugbo does need a decent run out and I really, really hope he has a stormer. I don't have good feelings about this one, but I hope we really give it a go Lampard (as is his want) will probably have made Cov poorer, so that's a good omen.

I understand the Thai Fish canning company are not in the best of states either. I think the family's total worth has dropped quite a lot over the last couple of years. If they're happy to bank roll Wednesday, then so be it, but the last figures I saw (a couple of years ago) were that the whole company was only worth £700m. Not enough to run an ambitious Football Club. DC's spaffed £200m+ apparently. When a bloke buys the ground (valued around £30m) for £64m, then it's not difficult to see how oodles of money is quoted. I still don't get it......

So no links or information then? How strange?

Spaffing... It's his family's money innit? He's potless.

Please, someone, post a link that tells us where Chansiri got / or is getting his money from, or did he win a Worldwide multi billion pound Lottery at some stage? I've never seen any Directorship, or position, or Company, that he's attached to? He MUST be spending (or staffing) someone else's money. He HAS to be .........

Ugbo is suffering. Head down, run up, smash it as hard and as low as you can. No 'keeper would stop it. He went for a class penalty, a 'good' penalty. It didn't work. Now he really does have to up his running, his awareness, his positioning and his desire. I hope summat comes off for him this half.

Musaba and Gassama don't usually work together, so looking for change in that story today. Ugbo? He HAS to score at some time. I hope we don't have to wait for the New Year to see it. Either those photographs exist, or DR sees summat we don't. Good luck to Ugbo today. He has to to get rid of the stigma attached to him. We don't want another 'expensive' failure. Hope he gets 2 or 3.

Max Lowe did really well (for a change). Iorfa did ok. Did Ugbo play? We won, and that's what counts.

It wasn't as clear cut as the scoreline suggests. A 4 or 5 all draw wouldn't have been out the way. We are very poor at the back. Have we got a defensive coach? A Windass Worldy and clinical finishing from us won the day, but we were a bit fortunate a good few times.

🍳 Two of 'em did ok today. One or two lapses (one costly) but steady otherwise. On present evidence, Smithy must be worth £7m. He's twice as good as the other bloke.

I'm tempting huge dollops of egg on my face, but I have one question. Has Rohl lost his mind? Max Lowe, Iorfa and Ugbo? Really?
